Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, Automatic Mode, With Duty Cycle, and Phase Correction

The problem with the previous code is the phase, and it didn’t arise until we applied it on some ‘real’ hardware.

Some hardware, like motor DC, need a signal with fixed phase, even the frequency’s changed.

The previous code have the ‘center of wave’ that change according to OCR0A value. It’ll move forward on the small OCR0A value and vice versa. On application using LED, it’s enough, since the device ignore the phase.



Some hardware need a fixed center of wave.

We could do that by normally increasing TCNT0 counter, set the flag down when the value reached OCR0A value, counting up till 255, counting down with the flag still down till reached OCR0A value, set the flag up, continue to counting down to 0, counting up again… so on

Notice that one cycle need two step (count up, count down), naturally it has half speed time / or half frequency.

But the center of wave’s now fixed, in the beginning of the wave, :)

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:

sbi ddrb,0                  ; pin B0 as output

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, Automatic Mode, With Duty Cycle

Now , how to set the duty cycle?

Uh, what’s duty cycle?

Well, our previous program have the LED output turned on and off with certain frequency. Of course.

But, how about set it up, so it will turn on for 1 ms and then turn off 0.5 ms, on 1 ms, off 0.5 ms and so on. Thus, the duration of high and low is different, that’s duty cycle, as far as I know, :)


And, we already have a weapon, the OCR0A, as a value where the high become low. Of course we have to set the timer to PWM Mode 3, so after the timer set the flag it will continue to 255 instead of reset the counter.

ldi a, 0b1000 0011
out TCCR0A,a


The Code:

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:

sbi ddrb,0                ; pin B0 as output

ldi a,0b10000011          ; Fast PWM mode 3 

out TCCR0A,a

    ldi a,0b00000101          ; pre-scaler /1024

out TCCR0B,a

    

    ldi a,2

    out OCR0A,a

loop:

rjmp loop

.

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, CTC with Automatic Mode

What if we want it to do the task automatically? With neither interrupt routine nor call command?.

We could use CTC mode . The TCNT0 will start counting up, restarted to zero (and generate interrupt) if its value reaches OCR0A value (the compare value we set).

Since, in the matter of talking, the timer has its flag status on pin B0, if we set it as output, we could see the status (high/low, on off) via led connected to it and ground.  

Note that we don’t use ‘interrupt routine’ but the system’s still generate an interrupt.

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:

sbi ddrb,0              ; pinb as output 

ldi a,0b01000010        ; CTC mode

out TCCR0A,a

ldi r16,0b00000101      ; pre-scaler /1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,200                ; compare value

    out OCR0A,a             

loop:

rjmp loop

####

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, "OVF" Interrupt Mode (slightly modified)

We could speeding the timer by pre-loading TCNT0 with a value between 0 and 255, so TCNT0’ll start count at our own value instead of zero. 

We have to pre-load the TCNT0 at the init subroutine, and pre-load again after flag is set, so we write the command at the timer subroutine. 

So, our code now will look like this 

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

    rjmp init

.org 0003

    rjmp timer

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,0b00000010    ; enable OVF

    out TIMSK0,a

    ldi a, 64           ; preload TCNT0

    out TCNT0,a

    sei                 ; enable interrupts globally

    

main:

    rjmp main

timer:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip pin B0 bit

    ldi a,64            ; preload again 

    out TCNT0,a

    reti

    

    

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, "OVF" Interrupt Mode

Using interrupt, we have a subroutine that regularly called, automatically.

It called when overflow flag (OVF) is set.

As always, the timer/counter (TCNT0 register) counts up from zero toward 255, called an interrupt and rolls over back to zero and starts counts up again. 

We could set the output at the interrupt subroutine so we eventually have nothing to do at the main program.

main:
 rjmp main

If we enabled interrupts, the system looks an  interrupt vector table at the bottom of memory, .org 000; composed of jumps to routines series.

OVF interrupt located at .org 0003

The first interrupt is, of course, power on or reset or initial condition, you named it…

We have to jump to it (using rjmp init) to set initial condition of our system when it connected to power source, or reset-ed. On this program we set pre-scaler to 1024, enabling OVF mode and of course enabling interrupts globally

The interrupt routine itself is only consist of toggle pinb,0 command  

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

    rjmp init

.org 0003

    rjmp timer

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,0b00000010    ; enable OVF

    out TIMSK0,a

    sei                 ; enable interrupts globally

    

main:

    rjmp main

timer:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip pin B0 bit

    reti

    

    

.

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer “CTC” Mode

Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) as its name suggests, will clear the flag if counter has same value with compare value. 

Thus, TCNT0 still count fram zero to 255, but if we set OCR0A on 64, timer will clear the flag at 64, restart counter to zero and count up again.

If we set OCR0A to 255, then it’ll behave like normal timer in 'Normal’ Mode.

If OCR0A value’s lower, then the delay time is faster/shorter.

Here's the code. OCF0A is compare flag, the bit-3 on TIFR0 register.

Notice that we have to set TCCR0A register to enable CTC mode; in Normal mode we don’t have to do that.

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a, 0b01000010   ; CTC mode

    out TCCR0A,a

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,255           ; compare value (emulating normal mode, set to lower value for shorter d)

    out OCR0A,a

main:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip the B0 bit

    rcall timer

    rjmp main

timer:

        loop:

    in a,TIFR0          ; wait 

    andi a, 0b00000100  ; (1<<OCF0A) is OCF0A 

    breq loop

    

    ldi a, 0b00000100   ; set OCF0A to 1 again after flagged

    out TIFR0,a

    

    ret

    

    

.

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer “Normal” Mode (Slightly Modified)

Our timer is static, it have to wait TCNT0 to count from 0 to 255 and then start over.

We could modify it so it count from x to 255 to make it count faster

so we need to pre-set/pre-load TCNT0 to some value

ldi a, 200
out TCNT0,a

With that, we could make the delay time faster. Set the TCNT0 to lower value for longer delay



We  need to modify it

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"
.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:
    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output
    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024
    out TCCR0B,a

    

main:
    sbi pinb,0          ; flip the B0 bit
    rcall timer

    ldi a,200           ; set lower for longer delay

    out TCNT0,a
    rjmp main

timer:
        loop:
    in a,TIFR0          ; wait 

    andi a, 0b00000010  ; (1<<TOV0) is TOV0 still 1 or flagged to 0?

    breq loop

    

    ldi a, 0b00000010   ; set TOV0 to 1 again after flagged

    out TIFR0,a

    

    ret

    

    

    

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer “Normal” Mode

Chip’s Internal Timer in ’Normal' mode will count from 0 to 255, set the overflow flag TOV0 to 0 and count again from 0 to 255, set the flag to 0 and so on. 

As usual, I used LED as output indicator on Port B0

We used 1024 for pre-scaler/divider value. Set the TCCR0B to 0000 0101

Note that we have to reset the overflow flag to 1 after timer count reached 255 (and set the flag to 0). 

Oh, by the way, the register/variable/things that count from 0 to 255 is called TCNT0. We didn’t touch it in the code this time, maybe next. 

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    breq loop

Flip the Bit

Maybe it's just me, but I recently realized that we have a handy feature on ATTiny13A for flip the value of the bit.


so instead of

sbic PINB,0
cbi PINB,0
sbi PINB,0

we could just use

sbi PINB,0

ATTiny13A Arduino

ATTiny is ... well, tiny. Not very suitable to programed it on arduino. Nevertheless, I decided to do it.

Create ‘hardware’ folder in Arduino sketch folder, unzip the file.

Download the Smeezekitty core, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ard-core13/files/latest/download

Unzip it, copy the files, paste in …/hardware/attiny/avr/variants/core13/ (if folder didn’t exist, create it)

edit the boards.txt files at

…/hardware/attiny/avr/boards.txt

avrdude give the error because my downloader need -B4 option (I installed new bootloader, flash it, remove auto sck, so the avrdude warning gone)

In order to be able to upload it to ATTiny13A, we have to edit the file.

Macintosh HD/Applications/Arduino/Contents/Java/Hardware/arduino/avr/programmers.txt

edit it

usbasp.name=USBasp
usbasp.communication=usb
usbasp.protocol=usbasp
usbasp.program.protocol=usbasp
usbasp.program.tool=avrdude
usbasp.program.extra_params=-Pusb -B4

start arduino IDE

it give firewall warning

so 

undo the edit or reinstall the arduino

create programmers.txt in the same folder with  boards.txt

usbasp.name=USBaspN
usbasp.communication=usb
usbasp.protocol=usbasp
usbasp.program.protocol=usbasp
usbasp.program.tool=avrdude
usbasp.program.extra_params=-Pusb -B4

we use USBaspN 

Blink without delay,  

const int ledPin =  1;      // the number of the LED pin
int ledState = LOW;             // ledState used to set the LED
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;        // will store last time LED was updated
const long interval = 1000;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
  if(currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) {
    previousMillis = currentMillis;   
    if (ledState == LOW)
      ledState = HIGH;
    else
      ledState = LOW;
    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);
  }
}

For some reason, the delay on LED seem longer than 1 s (but it worked).  Maybe it’s the same reason the blink example (with delay.) didn’t work

Serial Communication at ATTiny13A (#3)

Since we need to set the baud rate. We have to use either manual delay or timer interrupt.

For now, I am trying using manual delay.



Check whether the Pin B0 is blinking using this code

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.cseg

.org 0x00

ldi r16, 0b00000001

out ddrb,r16

loop:

ldi r17,0xff

ldi r18,0xff

sbi PORTB,0

rcall delay

cbi PORTB,0

rcall delay

rjmp loop

delay:

dec r17

brne delay

dec r18

brne delay

ret

yup, it is

Serial Communication at ATTiny13A (#2)

To send  bit data, we need 10 bit.

0(start)-8bit-1(stop) so r17 now has value 10

.include "../tn13Adef.inc" 

.cseg

.org 0x00

rjmp start 

start:

    ldi r16, 0x6D 

    ldi r17, 10 

shiftData:

    cpi r17, 10 

    breq low 

    cpi r17, 1

    breq high

    lsr r16

    brcs high

low:

    cbi PORTB, PB0 

    rjmp sent

high:

    sbi PORTB, PB0 

sent:

    dec r17 

    breq start 

    rjmp shiftData
